PLC/distributed control system programming and visualisation

We are guided by the principle of "integrated automation"

Software engineering has grown considerably in importance in recent years. There is a need to integrate the programming of controllers and distributed control systems along with the associated visualization into the operational environment. Regardless of whether the design is centralized or modular, Endress+Hauser is guided by the principle of "integrated automation", i.e. the combining of individual components or integrated modules via reliable interfaces to form a higher-level whole.

Prevention of duplication and data redundancy

The objective of integrated automation is to prevent duplication and data redundancy. These not only result in high costs due to the additional work involved, but also present a potential source of error due to the manual labour involved. In addition to connecting components at the level of the field and control system, integrated automation involves incorporating automation solutions at the level of operational planning. This vertical integration guarantees the consistent transfer of data from the control system to an ERP system such as SAP.
